In this episode, we’re going to be talking about the power of love and how you can live to inspire.

We are here with James Van Praagh. It is so awesome to be here with James.

He has co-authored books with Doreen Virtue. He is of course, a best-seller. He’s been on Oprah, Larry King Live, Dr. Phil, 48 hours, so many places. Also, he has his own school now, The James Van Praagh – School of Mystical Arts.

We’re so excited to have James here. He’s been a medium for many years and he has a new book out, The Power of Love.

luis-head

Luis Congdon

All right. He we are with James. It’s so exciting to have you on the show.

James, are you to launch?

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

I’m ready to launch.

luis-head

Luis Congdon

Beautiful.

So you just came out with this new book. I’m excited about it and not only that, you’ve been around for a long time inspiring people. Really getting people to think beyond what’s immediately physically there.

You’re helping a lot of people really connect with these deeper elements and aspects of life. I’m excited about this new book The Power of Love. Because I think that love conquers all and love is the most powerful force in the universe.

Tell me a little bit about that book and why you decided now is the time to write this book.

Live To Inspire With The Energy of Love

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

It is very true.

Thank you first for having me, I appreciate it.

The book The Power of Love came out about a week and half ago I think. It’s really about a book that’s been in the process for 35 years. From the beginning of the work that I do as a medium, which started 35 years ago. Because it’s really that energy of love, which it’s that energy, that vibration, that frequency, that is the reason why a medium work.

James Van Praagh Live To Inspire Thriving Launch Podcast

James Van Praagh

It’s because the bonds of love created by the loved ones on the earth continue on. Love never dies and it is through that the using of that energy that I’m able to be a medium. I’m able to bring through messages to loved ones because of that undying force, which is love.

As you said, love is the greatest healing force in our universe.

Life is really a series of choices. Choices are either love or fear and that’s really what makes up our life.

When we use fear, we’re stepping out of our source of who we are because we are loving-beings. We are souls having a human experience and the soul’s energy is love. Fear is not our energy.

Fear is really a stranger to us if you will. It’s not part of who we are. It’s very earthly. It’s the ego self. F-E-A-R falls ego turn real and it’s the illusions. It’s part of the illusionary world which to this earth world is the illusion.

Love Yourself And Live To Inspire

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

So love is the only thing that’s real.

If you use the power of love through your thoughts, actions, and words, you can create the life that you want and the world that you want.

That’s why the book had to be written. I really just channeled the work from the spirit world. They wrote this book.

I’d sit for about a year and half ago. It was just me going through the series of sitting down in different times in a meditation circle. And bring it through this information different parts of it.

Like every book I’ve written, I just open myself that I would be the vessel and this book comes through. This time was The Power of Love, which is a great timing on their part considering what the world is going through right now.

luis-head

Luis Congdon

Yeah, we’re definitely experiencing more turmoil and division and that reminder that you’re talking about, it’s really a pertinent time. Especially as we progress in our evolution and human being. I’d really think that it’s a very important message that you’re sharing.

One thing you said that really resonated and connects with me. It is that our loved ones even after they live their bodies, they’re still sending us messages. They’re still loving us.

I’ve never had any experiences like you have James or some of the other listeners in regards to talking to people that have passed. Or different things that make people really believe in it.

Live To Inspire Even In the Midst Of Turmoil

luis-head

Luis Congdon

For me, when I was 5 years old, my mother was murdered and lost connection with her. I was adopted when I was 8. Then, I came to The United States, and I didn’t ever call upon her to connect with her. I wasn’t sure if I’d believe that when I was a child.

But one of the things I really felt consistently as a child is I could somehow feel her presence. I could feel her love. I remember when I was 18 years old, I was starting to think about going back to Colombia. Reuniting with all of my biological family, going back to the birthplace where there’s a lot of turmoil.

I was kind of snatched up from that country and brought here to The United States. I could feel her presence. It wasn’t like a voice. It’s not a voice like I hear you and me speaking.

However, this kind of impulse just like blood coursing through the body or oxygen coming in. It was this vague sensation of I could feel her. Somehow I could interpret this sensation or this kind of softness.

I could somehow translate that to my mom saying, “I want you to go back to Colombia. I want you to reunite with your father,” who I’d never met. I didn’t meet him until I was 18 but I could just feel her telling me that I needed to go.

Throughout my life, there’s been many situations that I personally wouldn’t have done. But because I could feel the loving presence of my mother who had passed on. I could somehow feel her calling me to go and unlike you, I didn’t have any basis on this.

It was just like I don’t know why I feel this way but I can feel her.

Choose Love And Live To Inspire

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

It’s very much that more than likely, it’s probably 99% that she’s your guide. She left then to become a guide. Many times, what happens, our loved ones who leave us from the physical will become our guide. They will become our teachers on the other side, can help us, and help to influence us because the love never dies.

Just like you said earlier, you said something about the oxygen around us. If we have oxygen around us and we don’t see it but yet, we breathe it in everyday, every moment. Same thing with love, with that energy, that energy of love is all around especially from a mother or a father or family members. Part of them is with you because they’re part of your soul group.

So we experience things from the physical but she’s experiencing it from the spiritual. She’s just really giving you and to your soul what’s best for you from her point of view, from her perspective, and why she wouldn’t.

She would want you to continue your soul journey. She wants you to help you with your soul journey. As she helps you through your soul journey, her soul journey is also evolved.

We work together with the spirit world all the time. It is that energy of love that has brought you where you are today. Because you wouldn’t be here today doing this type of work that you’re doing. Having all these listeners, and doing this program if she wasn’t influencing you in some way to do it.

It’s interesting how things work but there are no accidents. I always say there’s always a divine intervention in everything.

Live To Inspire And Live Your Purpose

kamala-head

Kamala Chambers

Absolutely agree with all of that. One thing I’m really curious about you is your work in medium ship and coming out with the book The Power of Love.

How does that bridge? How does that connect for you?

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

When I first started doing the work many years ago. I was working a 9 to 5 job in a nice big corporation in the U.S. I had a very important job as manager in a contract department for a television shows. It was big job. There were lot of benefits. Everything was great about it. I remember bringing messages through to some people and it was just incredible.

The sensations of these people came to you who depressed. Whose lives were over and after a session with me, they were walking on clouds. Their whole lives had changed. It was that energy of love that their loved ones came through and let them know they’re still with them. They’re still around them. I just knew there was no greater purpose for me to do than to bring forth this loving energy, the power of love. That’s what’s really my work has been about is that healing power.

It’s so interesting because through the work I’ve learned so many things. How can you love another person if you don’t love yourself? You have a relationship with yourself.

So my book would be talking about loving yourself, having a relationship with yourself, and learning how to be responsible for loving yourself.  It is also about being aware of the space that you’re in, and the space around you. Also about what people are drawn to you. How to work with the energy of love or the energy of fear, which one do you go toward.

It works hand in hand with the work I do as a medium to always expand love.

Believe And Live To Inspire

luis-head

Luis Congdon

I’ve got an interesting question here from one of our listeners.

That question is how do I become okay if I can contact the other world but it scares me? I’ve heard that a few times and one of our listeners have been asking about that. How do I get okay with that part of me and begin to access that without so much fear?

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

That’s a great question. It’s a common question that allowed people ask. Because a lot of us were raised in organized religions or belief systems that say the supernatural is evil. You can get possessed and it’s all these dark staff which are not necessarily true.

We are first of all souls having a human experience.

We’re not humans having a soul experience. We’re souls having a human experience. A soul of natural vibration is love. That’s who we are.

James Van Praagh Live To Inspire Thriving Launch Podcast
james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

I think that the unknown can be scary to people. Knowledge is power. You have to become more aware of the world of synchronicity. Have awareness about how to feel love, how to feel the emotions, how to feel intuitions, the soul’s voice, and how to use intuition.

Baby steps is great. Baby steps knowing that you’re always loved. There’s an evil per say. I really don’t. I think evil is a human concept. I think there could be yes, someone who doesn’t realize love or they live in fear. But I think per evil is human made. I really do.

The work that I do is quite the opposite but for people that are just starting out, just use your hunch. Just use your soul’s voice. Become aware of your connection with your soul. Your own relationship with your soul is very important.

Listen to Your Soul’s Voice And Live To Inspire

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

Listening to your soul’s voice is essential. Those little glimpses of intuition where like, the phone rings and you feel it’s a certain person. Sure enough it is. That’s your intuition. We have this little intuition hits every single day and that’s our soul’s voice.

The first step I’d say is really have a connection with your own soul. Have a relationship. Expand that relationship. Learn as much as you can about intuition. Learn about awareness, and take it that we read as much as you, as many books as you can. Programs like this are important and really never measure yourself to anybody else. That’s why I say take baby steps.

I have a great school. It’s an internet school. It’s called The James Van Praagh – School Of Mystical Arts. I put together about 9 or 10 courses and one is on intuition. One is on medium ship. Another is on transformation. All different types of things that people are interested in on their own journey.

Something like that might be very good to people. Just to look at, to see what resonates as true. We have to remember that all those belief systems usually aren’t ours. They’re usually our parents’, our society’s or someone else’s belief systems. We got to be true to ourselves. What feels right for us might not be right for somebody else.

I also say in that relationship you have with yourself and your soul. One has to realize that whatever people think of you is really none of your business. Because nobody knows you better than you know yourself.

Be Mindful And Live To Inspire

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

Many people get caught up in the illusion. They care what other people think or we have to do this to be successful. I have to do this to have a relationship or after this I’ll be financially free. Not necessarily.

Don’t follow other people’s way. Don’t let other people tell you who you are. You have to know who you are to live to inspire.

kamala-head

Kamala Chambers

You’re talking about some really beautiful and powerful things when we integrate into our lives more and more.

I’d love to hear is there any concrete tips that you would give to the Thriving Launchers. So that we can all apply to our daily lives?

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

Sure. I got couple of things I could tell you to live to inspire.

What you can do daily:

  1. Mindfulness.

Be mindful. What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is really very easy. Mindfulness is just having an awareness of the moment we’re in.

Right now, we are speaking together. This is the moment that we’re in. I’m trying to live the best of this moment right now. The past has already happened. Yesterday’s gone. Our childhood has gone on. Yesterday is yesterday. Things happened. That’s happened and that’s what brought us to today.

The future is yet to be so there’s no reason to waste the energy worrying about the future. No reason to use that energy in a fear mode. You can look far to tomorrow and what tomorrow brings, that potential of tomorrow.

But truly to be mindful, living in this moment, living in the current moment, that is mindfulness. Being mindful of how you feel the moment, knowing that you are in control of the moment. That’s the first thing. Being mindful and being mindful of the moment. That’s it to live to inspire.

Live To Inspire And Live Your Best Life

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

2. Everybody is God. Everybody is light.

Whatever words or labels we want to use, we have an energy of pure loving light energy. I believe that every single person is God. Certain belief systems, that’s not God. That’s usually humans. However, we have that source energy within each one of us.

People can go about living their day not only being mindful but also trying to see the light in each person who comes upon your path.

Try to see that God person.

Even though the person might be really horrible to you and treat you really badly. There’s something going on deep within, which is love and light.

A lot of people especially on the holiday period, act out their stuff. Act out their insecurities.

Don’t stop when you interact with someone. If they’re throwing something at you, stop right there. You stop. Pause. Take a couple of breaths and observe what they’re saying. Don’t have a knee jerk reaction where you’re going to go back and emotionally go back at them. No, no, no.

You want to stop and observe. Why are they behaving this way? Why are they saying the things they’re saying? It’s obviously something that they’re projecting from themselves that they’re seeing. That’s their reality. Not mine. That’s fine.

But you can just say, “I understand what you’re saying. That’s your point of view. That’s fine.” But then, throughout that stuff, try to know that within that, they are God. They are light. There’s a reason why they’re there, and there’s a reason why they’re on my path at this moment.

Live To Inspire And Keep Thriving

james-van-praagh

James Van Praagh

Everybody who comes upon your path each day is either a teacher or a student. That really helped but we have to realize that we each are connected. That God light is the same with every single person whether the person is political figure or a person who’s homeless. We all have that same God light, that God love.

It’s matter of recognizing, uncovering, and finding out with each person to live to inspire. So those are the 2 things that I really would say for the Thriving community to start doing.

kamala-head

Kamala Chambers

Thank you so much for that.

We’ve been here with James Van Praagh. It’s been so delightful to be talking about the power of love and how you can live to inspire using it.

Thank you all for tuning in. Go out and practice your mindfulness and your own power of love. Keep thriving and live to inspire everyone.
